1T BECOMES A LAW.
Interstate Commerce Bill
Signed by the President.
THE VIEWS OF THE CABINET
The Attorney G eneraI In Full Sym
pathy, But He Declines to
Talk About 1t,
Interstate Commerce Eli.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-President
Cleveland has approved the interstate
commerce bill. The signing of theinter-
state commerce bill by the President
was in full accord with the opinion of
Attorney General Garland rendered to
him on last Monday, and it is very well
understood to be in accord with the
views of the Cabinet. The Attorney
General was asked tonight to give his
views in regard to the bill and explain
wherein it differed from the Senate bill
two years ago, which he opposed on the
ground that it was unconstitutional.
he declined to do so, saying that be re
gsrded the opinion he had given to the
President on the subject
AS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
tits learned, however, from trustworthy
sources, that the Attorney General, as
well as the President, considers the bill
which has just become law free from
all material features which were obiec-
tionable in the Senate bill of two years
ago. According to this informction,
the Attorney Generals objection to the
old bill was to the vast powers of
a legislative and judicial character
that were given to the commission.
The Attorney General is said to hold
that the present bill does not confer
judicial powers on the commission, but
puts them in the courts on report
from the commission, and that it does
not confer legislative power except in
the fourth section (the long and short
haul clause, and that this is warranted
by numberless presidents in the legis-
alive history of the government.

Among the Solons-The Timber Bill
Secretary Manning's Letter.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-The con-
ferees on the bill to repeal the pre-emp-
ton, timber culture and desert land
laws, held their final meeting to-day
and resolved to report to their respect
i've houses total disagreement of the
bill.
1t is learned that the Senate conferees
were willing to yield almost verything
in the controversy except the eighth
section of the Senate bill, which was
particularly obnoxious to the House
conferees. The eighth section which
formed the stumbling block ia the con-
ference, provides that the Commissioner
of the General Land Office may sus-
pend the issue of patents after final
proof in all cases where fraud is
found in the entries under the general
land laws, and send the case to the De
partment of Justice for legal proceed
lpgs TO Vacate the receivers certificate.
The section makes an exception IN the
case where the lands have been sold to
bona tide purchaser for valuable con-
slderation. 1he House conferees were
opposed to the inclusion of the section,
because it would, they hold, deprive the
SOhlAAlooAObCI VI oil pOhCi w Ah'SoUA
gate and adJudicate questions OF fraudin
puolic land entries, and cancel the
entries after final certifcation by requir-
ing in all cases certifCation of them to
the Department. of Justice for litigation,
except IN cases of sales as stated, which
are, by the section, implicitly validated.
This section would, it was argued by
the House conferees, also place upon
the government the burden of proof.
and require it to institute formal legal
proceedings in numerous cases of fraud
In the place of the easy practicable
method now followed of hearings at
local land offices. 1t was also urged as
another objection to the section
that it creates new rule, a
total innovation, that the sale of
entrymans' equity, however, bare
faced a and fraudulent, for valuable
consideration, passes the title to the
purchaser and the government is
bound. The result would be that every
entry would go into the
hands of "a purchaser for value"
Aside from this section, the differences
between the House and the Senate bills
were regarded as of minor Importance,
and were easily compromised.

SECRETARY MANN1NG's LETTER

presented to the House last Wednes-
day in reply to Wilkins resolution call
ing for information as to whether the
small United States notes had been re-
placed with those of larger denomina-
tons, was received with i'll grace by a
number of representatives who are re-
garded as "silver men," as leaning
towards the soft money policy.
Some of them, after subjecting the
document to careful scrutiny, declare
that aside from the notably dIsre-
spectful tone, the paper shows clearly
that Secretary Manning has violated
the law regulating the issue of United
States notes, and has, also, as it is
alleged, failed to make the purchases
of silver bullion every month to the
full amount required by the Bland act.
Several consultations of an informal
character have been held by these mem
bers, and it IS learned that some of the
most ultra-silver men more than limited
